SUMMARY:Zumbini FREE Come and Try Class
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the launch of Zumbini on the Sunshine Coast\, you are invited to a FREE Come and Try Class in Sunshine Beach. \nMeet Lori-Anne\, your Zumbini instructor\, and experience Zumbini’s program while meeting other local families. \n \nZumbini is an early childhood music and movement program for children ages 0-5 years and their caregivers. It was created by Zumba and Baby First\, to promote cognitive\, social and motor development. \nAt Zumbini the parents are really engaged and have just as much fun as the children. The babies get to learn through play\, music and movement\, which is key to helping them develop their motor and emotional skills. \nThe energy in class is amazing; it is 45mins of uninterrupted fun and quality time with your little one! \n \nWhat to expect in class? Original music\, dancing\, singing\, instrument exploration\, parachute play\, learning\, bonding and so much more. \nZumbini classes are a mixed-age format to mirror a natural family and community environment\, allowing children to learn at their own pace without pressure to “Keep up”. \nIf you would like to join them weekly\, you can sign up for the term and receive a take-home Digital Music Album\, to continue the fun and learning at home\, plus a gift! Currently they have classes in Noosa and Sunshine Beach. \n3 week trials are available too\, to see if it’s the right fit for you and your little one. \nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Mary Valley Rattler's Gympie Gold Heist
DESCRIPTION:Lovers of the Wild West should head to Gympie for the Mary Valley Rattler’s Gympie Gold Heist on Saturday\, 2 May. \nLovers of classic westerns can put themselves centre stage by hopping onboard the Rattler to witness a train robbery that transports the scene back over a hundred years\, when gold glittered in the Gympie hills and outlaws were prepared to exchange lead in pursuit of the precious metal. \nThe professional theatre company Perseverance Street Theatre Company and the horse riders from CB Performance Horses will choreograph the action adventure\, replicating the great tradition of railway robberies\, with the outlaws taking on the C17 iron horse with real horses\, delivering a posse of robbers to the Rattler. \nThe outlaws will interact\, entertain and maybe even share a nugget of laughs with passengers as the heritage train steams towards the village of Amamoor. \nFIND OUT MORE
